Dear Friends:
We're living through difficult times. It's often hard to stay focused on our priorities and values, including our commitment to clean water and a healthy environment for everyone.
That's why we must take the time to celebrate all of our accomplishments and many local environmental leaders. And that's why you should join us for our 7th (woohoo!) annual
Milestones Celebration!
If you have attended in the past, you know it's a great time...and we expect to see you there. If you haven't yet joined us,
this is your year. Bring your family and colleagues...bring your customers and friends. Care about clean water and our community? Then don't miss Milestones. I'm looking forward to welcoming you!
See you at Milestones,
